(Although Jeff Van Gundy probably took himself out of the running when he blasted Joe Dumars for hiring and firing so many coaches during his tenure as Detroit's president of basketball operations.)

&amp;lt;a href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/7062046/"&amp;gt;Should the Detroit Pistons consider hiring Bill Laimbeer as their next head coach?&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

One name some fans think should be included in the discussion is Bill Laimbeer.

Laimbeer, 55, certainly has a Pistons' pedigree that few others possess after playing 13 of his 14 NBA seasons in Detroit.

He was perhaps the baddest of The Bad Boys who won back-to-back NBA championships in 1989-90, his No. 40 has been retired and hangs in The Palace rafters and he coached the WNBA's Detroit Shock to three championships while leading them to a fourth appearance in the championship series.

He was the WNBA Coach of the Year in 2003.

Laimbeer, current coach of the WNBA's New York Liberty, also has NBA coaching experience after serving as an assistant under Kurt Rambis in Minnesota.

Should the Pistons consider Laimbeer when picking their next head coach?
